HELEN GIN MEMORY Book

As Helen prepares to retire, we’re putting together a special memory book to honour her incredible journey. Helen has touched so many lives with her dedication, warmth, and unwavering commitment—and we’d love your help in creating a heartfelt tribute to her career, achievements, and the lasting legacy she leaves behind. Note: When adding your message to Helen’s farewell book, please include your full name. This will help Helen remember and appreciate everyone who contributed. Thank you!

We are headed into the CISAA Championship/Playoff Week!

First, we would like to congratulate Theo G.R and Selma N as they both qualified for the Metro Championships as part of our Varsity Track and Field Team. They are one step away from provincial representation for CISAA (OFSAA).

Our U10-U14 Track and Field team will culminate their season at the CISAA Championships next week at York University with many promising athletes that will place in the top 8, while our U14 Ultimate Team is playoff bound.

Congratulations to Felix K, Ren R, and Sophie G.N who all got through regional qualification and will represent TYS at the CISAA Championships at St. Andrew’s.

Our Varsity Badminton CISAA Championship qualifiers are Ben P, Cole P, James K, Dylan M, Leah P and Kate P. Good luck next week at Trinity College School!

Leeeet’s Go TYS!
